Diamondbacks Earn 5-4 Win Versus Athletics
O.co Coliseum was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Oakland Athletics.

The Arizona Diamondbacks had to overcome a fine effort from Oakland pitcher Franklin Rojas to grab a narrow 5-4 win at O.co Coliseum. Rojas went 7 innings and allowed 3 runs. Tong-myeon Moon, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 4th save.

Joel Kunkler, the former first round draft pick , had a direct impact on the outcome. Kunkler contributed a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put Arizona up, 5-4.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Oakland manager Daryl S. Oakland said following the tough loss.

The first-place Diamondbacks, at 85-47, now lead their division by 12½ games.
